Astera Health Provides Women's Health Services
Astera Health Delivers Comprehensive Women's Healthcare
Astera’s family medicine services aim to improve the physical and mental health of your entire family. We combine overall patient care with advocacy to help you and your loved ones receive proper treatment from one of our highly-skilled family medicine physicians in Wadena. Our team is dedicated to providing kind, compassionate care to ensure your family’s overall health.
Our OB/Gyn at Astera Health offers a complete array of gynecological surgeries and procedures. Our minimally-invasive techniques promise less pain, quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, and less scarring.
Astera offers midwifery services to help ensure a healthy pregnancy for each of our patients as well as a full range of primary health care for women from adolescence to beyond menopause. Certified nurse midwives (CNM) provide pregnant women with personal care from prenatal through postpartum. A midwife takes a more holistic approach to health care than an obstetrician, with added focus on mental health, socioeconomic status, and an expecting mother’s general mood, among other factors. Midwife services may also include support during delivery, aromatherapy, and water birth expertise. Our CNMs, Dawn Dahlgren-Roemmich and Allison Freese-Johnson, will provide education and care to help improve the health of you, your baby, and your entire family.
We provide comprehensive obstetric and gynecological services at our women’s health clinic in Wadena. The OB/GYN at Astera provides well-woman exams, breast examinations, contraceptive counseling, menopause and hormone management, fertility treatment, abnormal pap smear evaluations, and a wide range of other care services through menopause and beyond.
As part of our care services for pregnant women, Astera provides prenatal education. Beginning with your first prenatal visit, we will help you understand pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and how to care for your newborn. Our team of licensed experts can provide personalized, individual sessions to guarantee you are fully prepared for motherhood. We also have prenatal yoga classes to help reduce stress and anxiety for expecting.
